\- Ivan worked on various stuff for our tech stack, like new prettier configurations and eslint rules\
\- Floffy worked on grouping the whole config to one file for the dev environment and one hidden file for the prod environment.\
\- Floffy worked on some deployment improvements.\
\- Floffy worked on adding the facilities rules to the game-rules library.\
\- Floffy is now working on improving the game-rules library and changing our architecture to adapt to some new WebSocket messaging
